Informational content on this site was written principally by Elizabeth
MacGonagle and Joy Wrolson, KU graduate student in Theatre & Film.
Ken Lohrentz contributed a bibliography of sources about Onitsha Market
Literature and conducted background research on Nigerian copyright law
restrictions. Files of the actual digitized texts were created by a team
at Spencer Research Library headed by Sarah Goodwin Thiel. Richard
Clement,
Special Collections Librarian at Spencer Research Library, provided insight
and support from the early stages of the project. Bibliographic records
for all Onitsha pamphlets in the Spencer Research Library collection
were created by Kerry Chapman of the KU Libraries Cataloging Department
under the direction of Mary Roach, Departmental Chair.

Other colleagues at the University of Kansas who provided assistance
for this initiative include: John Janzen, Director of the African Studies
Resource Center, Julie Loats, Academic Computing Services, Rose Marino,
Associate University Counsel, and Steven Bell, General Counsel law clerk.
In addition, a number of members of the Africana Librarians Council provided
crucial assistance with regard to Nigerian copyright and related issues,
including Moore Crossey, former Curator of African Collections at Yale
University Library; Phyllis Bischof, Librarian for African and African
American Collections, University of California at Berkeley; and David
Easterbrook through the email reference service, Melville J. Herskovits
Library of African Studies, Northwestern University Libraries. Their
assistance was most helpful and contributed significantly to the successful
completion of the project.
